Stand-alone from junk mail with the help of mailing services

On a daily basis, letter boxes are bombarded with leaflets, letters and catalogues from various companies offering numerous incentives and reminders of the products and services they are trying to sell. The majority of this mail has no relevance to the household and is considered ‘junk mail’. Junk mail is often binned even before reading and holds little value in the eye of the consumer.

This lack of regard for such mail could pose a threat to any direct mailing marketing campaign. If the information that is being posted is not audience focussed and does not offer the right messages, there is a high chance that the mail will follow the junk – straight into the bin. Understanding who your target audience is and what their needs are in terms of an effective marketing message can only help improve the effectiveness of such a mailing campaign. This could be achieved through personalisation – sending a letter to ‘A valued consumer’ rarely gets you off to a good start’. Effective campaigns can also be achieved by ensuring that the message is clear and is something that the intended audience actually wants to read and that the direct mail stands out, whether that be from a well-planned layout, good design or colour use; for example.
